unmog Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think it would be really cool if we could capture a zombie somehow, and if we were going insane being around that zombie and talking to it would improve our mood. This is sort of related to the implementation of npcs soon-ish. It would be cool if we could essentially turn a zombie into an npc, like restrain it in a way ala Walking Dead to have a little zombie buddy. Id think you first push one and knock him down, then right click with some handcuffs or rope or gag it with a rag or whatever, then you leash the little guy and bring him home. Maybe could even be a perk, Zombie lover. Sure, if you get too close or dont check its restraints then your little friend turns out to be a benedict arnold and your forced to either put it down or find out thats how you died. I've tried locking a zombie in my bathroom for this sort of roleplay aspect but, it eventually gets out Footmuffin and PhantomWarlock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deprav Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 hahaha, I'd actually love to see that kind of twisted feature once the whole survival aspect of the game has been fully finished and balanced. Some kind of "psychology" overhaul ; that would be cool for RP and NPC-storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomWarlock Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Reminds me of Shawn of the Dead. But yeah, maybe some kind of trap could do this. Maybe a bear trap, or some kind of noose-like trap that functions similar to a dog leash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadCavalier Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 While it's not something I would ever see myself doing, it is actually in-line with the general Max Brooks lore regarding "quislings" or Z-Shocked individuals, which I'd consider something far more extreme than merely keeping "pet" zombies. These could also be used as defenses against other players on MP servers potentially...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to be able to do this and even run across NPC's doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unmog Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hah thanks everyone. I dunno, I mean I get that we can kill zombies or run from them, and I get that zombies are "bad". I just wish there was more fun ways I could interact with them like how some characters do in stories is all. And, it makes sense to me that we could possibly restrain or capture a zombie somehow if we were quick enough after knocking one down. Multiple zombies probably wouldnt work very well considering theyre super dangerous in groups but I think if we could get one alone it wouldn't be that difficult.

Gordonfleaman Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 And then I will come and kill your zombie friend, knock over your fish-tanks of zombie heads, and stab you in the eye with a shard of glass. I'd love this function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onkeen Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I personally like the idea, even if it's already possible to keep a zomby inside a carpentry made room with a sas to prevent it from escaping, we already have discussed it here : http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/13171-ability-to-trap-and-or-restrain-zombies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurex Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Considering the upcoming npcs relationship system, I think it would be amazing to see a survivor keeping his/her loved ones tied to a rope just to see them still... moving, even if they're not alive anymore. It would be quite... morbid, and definitely not good for the survivor's mental health... but definitely understandable. Maybe they still hope they're going to get better in some way. Or... they could use them to train with weapons! Just like Dwarf Fortress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Øathbetrayer Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I believe I have read that this is a definite No. They mean chain them up like the Katana lady mishone from the walking dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unmog Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 No I dont mean like Mashone, but that'd also be cool. Mashone specifically cuts off arms and their jaw and walks around with them to gain a camouflage bonus to get past other zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fryhizzle Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I like your idea, but substitute 'zombies' with 'players' and I'm down. Coming Soon: Thunderdome! Øathbetrayer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
